DWP Investigations: Nelson & Burnley


The department for work and pensions often investigate whether benefit claims are lawful and legitimate. If the department informs you that you are under investigation we can advise you about the implications and whether you may have committed a criminal offence. We can also attend with you at the Department's offices if they wish to interview you under caution.

If you have been summonsed to court and are being prosecuted by the department, we can fully advise you about your case. Under certain circumstances it may be possible to help you avoid prosecution.
